As we step into APRIL, Oshawa begins to bloom with the vibrant colors of spring. The city comes alive with various activities and events that celebrate the season of renewal. This month, there are several important dates such as Vimy Ridge Day on April 9, Good Friday on April 18, and Easter Sunday on April 20. The weather can still be quite cool in the morning and evening, with it warming up in the afternoons. You'll also understand why we say, "April showers bring May flowers," so keep that umbrella handy!
